A popular choice that’s perfect for small and large stores alike. A neat plugin that transforms your WordPress site into a fully-fledged eCommerce one

PrestaShop
A firm favourite for hundreds of thousands of stores due to its unique customisation tools and lightweight engine.

osCommerce
The patriarch of engines with a huge fan-base of developers and users, it’s easy to use and super lightweight.
Our datacentre and network platform is engineered from the ground up to provide reliability and performance.
Race track ready
We’re masters of speed so we’ll make sure your eCommerce site goes sonic. With our TTFB-optimised software stack you’ll see fewer abandoned shopping carts, which means more converted sales.
Caching in
We offer support for NGINX, Redis and Varnish which means lightning fast load times so your customers are never stuck waiting.
Braced for traffic
As part of our eCommerce hosting packages, we load test your most intensive pages with simulated sale-day traffic and share the before/after results – so you’ll know when and if to scale up before the stampede arrives.
One flat price
We don’t charge per request, so bandwidth is billed predictably. A Black Friday traffic spike means more sales – not a surprise hosting bill.
Free migration
We’ll move your store for free. For the final sync we pop it into maintenance mode, so your data is copied up-to-the-minute and no order gets doubled up.
Peace of mind
Monarx Active Protection is a proactive beast of a security system. It can catch hacks before they’ve had a chance to do any damage and offers protection to stop them happening in the first place.
If you take card payments, the platform underneath your store is part of your compliance scope. We help make that part of it straightforward.
Support for your PCI compliance
We partner with HackerGuardian for PCI scanning, and build the platform your store runs on with the standard in mind from day one rather than retrofitting it later.
Hardened environments
Every environment is hardened and secured as standard. We lock things down from the outset instead of bolting it on when an assessment date appears in the diary.
Help with the paperwork
We can advise on your PCI compliance reports as needed – including working alongside a third party QSA if that is who is carrying out your assessment.
Because a store’s speed and security show up in its sales: faster pages mean fewer abandoned carts, and if you take card payments, the platform underneath your store is part of your PCI compliance scope.
You wouldn’t put diesel in a space shuttle. If your business is taking off, it deserves to be super fast and super secure so let us provide the rocket fuel.
Prostack will work with you directly to understand your business requirements so we can offer a personalised solution tailored to your needs.
Every environment is hardened as standard, with firewalls, a WAF and Monarx Active Protection against malware. As part of our eCommerce hosting packages, we also vigilantly patrol your site with a range of scanning tools to make sure we’re one step ahead of threats and hackers. And we’re constantly working on the latest certifications so you can sit back and rest easy knowing we’ve got your back.
We offer full cloud encryption of databases and file systems, as well as proactive protection against website attacks. We’re all about security – keeping up to date to make sure your customers are safe and sound.
We can. We partner with HackerGuardian for PCI scanning, and every environment we build is hardened and secured as standard, giving your store a solid foundation for compliance. If you need to produce PCI compliance reports we can advise on those too – including working alongside a third party QSA if that’s who is carrying out your assessment.
You betcha – we conduct rigorous performance and capacity testing to make sure there’s no slow down when your visitors speed up.
We use state-of-the-art monitoring and alert systems so our ‘always on’ team can work to remedy the fault round the clock.
Your customers can keep browsing while we migrate. To make sure your store’s data is copied up-to-the-minute and there’s no doubling up of orders, we place your site into maintenance mode while we speedily perform your migration.
By making your store faster. No one likes to be kept waiting, so abandoned baskets can be down to page loading time – and Prostack knows how to expertly optimise your site to make it faster so you can see a boost in sales.
Our experts are ready and waiting to chat through our most suitable eCommerce hosting options. Fully managed hosting starts from £89 a month, and we’ll migrate your store free of charge.
